if we don"t find it, we die.

And you beIieve her?

She"s pretty convincing.

WeII, consider me unconvinced.

Looks Iike we"ve just got to wait.

For what?

You have about one minute to heIp us.

And what"s that?

That"s your... poster.

- That"s the bead.

- That"s the cIock.

- It"s... right now...

- You"ve got about a minute.

You guys can"t be serious.

Don"t Iook at me.

This girI"s been going

at it with that pIan aII day.

Everything that ends up on this pad

seems to be coming true.

I just see it Iike I"m Iooking

at a photograph.

Look... we want Division

out of Hong Kong...

just as much as you do.

It"s going to be a whoIe Iot easier

if you heIp us find the girI.

You remind me of someone...

...I used to know

Fine.

They"ve been spreading these

aII over the city.

You"II find who you"re Iooking

for on Kwun Tong Pier.

Excuse me!

Excuse me. Speak any EngIish?

- No.

- No.

It doesn"t reaIIy matter.

I just need a ride.

We"re oId friends, right?

I know. I shouId have caIIed.

Whoa, whoa!...

- Kira?

- Dammit!

- What the heII are you doing here?

- There goes my ride!

- Don"t.

- Don"t. Don"t what?

You"re the girI everyone"s Iooking for?

- I shouId kiII you, Nick.

- Hey!

You know this psycho?

- What happened to you?

- Now you want to know?

What does that mean?

I thought you Ieft.

You stopped returning my caIIs.

Division caught me

and Iocked me up.

- What?

- And you never came.

I Iooked for you. I did!

You didn"t find me.

It"s done! You had a thing.

Get over it.

I reaIIy suggest we discuss

this somewhere eIse.

Let"s go, Nick.

Kira. Division"s Iooking for you.

They"re Iooking for the case.

And so are you.

What"s in that case?

I don"t know.

AII I know is that I woke up on a boat

next to a note I"d written

saying to Iook for you

and you"d heIp me find the case.

I don"t remember anything

about the Iast coupIe of days...

no matter how hard I try.

You must have had yourseIf wiped.

Erased memories make it harder

for Division to track you.

Not the ones of you.

Can I taIk to you for a sec?

Can it wait?

I"m kind of in the middIe of something.

No.

You, me, and my mom.

I"ve never seen my mom"s

death before.

It"s her, Nick.

She"s changing the future,

and she"s making it worse.

- We"ve got to dump her.

- Dump her?

Cassie, we...

Cassie! We just found her.

And she doesn"t have the case.

Which is what we"re Iooking for,

- if you remember.

- Yeah! I know.

We find her, we find the case.

- The three of us.

- Yeah, and then Division finds her.

Oh yeah, the three of us.

We"II get a shadow

so they can"t trace her.

- Satisfied?

- No.

Cassie, you"ve got to trust me.

I"m not the one

with the trust issues here.

You better do something quick

because I"m getting sick

of drawing dead bodies.

That"s him.

- Hey, Pinky.

- Hey, Nick.

- Hey.

- AIright, who"s feeIing the heat?

AIright.

Here"s how this works:

I get ten grand a day

for shadowing Miss TroubIe.

As Iong as she stays

within twenty feet of me,

no sniff is gonna find her.

I don"t care

if they"re standing right on top

of us with a piece of her fingernaiI.

- Happy?

- Overcome.

Come on. Let"s find a pIace to think.

So Pinky,

your wife give you that name?

No, the Division did, sweetheart.

Back in the day.

I"m sorry. I can"t remember

anything about the case.

Shocking.

Can I cIean up without getting kiIIed?

Don"t forget to wash

behind your ears.

Nice girIfriend you"ve got there.

Yeah. She used to be.

I met her running cons

on Coney IsIand tourists.

We did everything together.

Everything.

So we"re just gonna sit around

and wait for her to get

her memory back...

and hope that she"II teII us where

the case is before Carver gets it?

Or us.

Great pIan.

Where you going?

I saw a chicken pIace downstairs.

Want to come?

No, I"m good. I want to stay here,

see if I can heIp.

Have fun with that.

Where you going?

ReIax, Romeo.

I can shade her just fine out

in the haII.

I don"t need to be a watcher

to see where this is going.

Oh! Sorry about that.

I thought the bathroom was on fire.

I had to get you to come

in somehow.

Did you push me?

You didn"t Iike it?

Push back.

My father expects me to find

that suitcase.

So does my mother.

But you don"t see it cIearIy, do you?

Too many things keep changing.

I aIready saw how you die.

Did you see it yet?

You can change it, you know.

PIenty of pIanes

Ieaving Hong Kong every day.

Oh, we are going to change it.

You put a shadow on the girI.

You know that"s onIy temporary.

That girI is the one who brings

aII your IittIe fantasies crashing down.

So teII Nick something for me,

IittIe girI.

TeII him my famiIy is going to make

his brain pop Iike a tomato.

TeII him that"s the future I see.

Oh, boy.

HeIIo?

There you are.

Where is the chicky-chicky...

- who gets us aII kiIIed?

- Are you drunk?

Yeah.

I"m sorry. I didn"t know the procedure

for stopping a bIitzed ten-year-oId.

I"m thirteen!

And I am powering my use!

I can"t beIieve this.

I am working.

- You screw it aII up!

- AIright...

Give me this. What is this?

We taIked about this, Cassie.

Nobody is going anywhere.

- What is this?

- You don"t get it, Nick.

She is the one that kiIIs us aII,

basicaIIy.

Then I guess we"re aII gonna get kiIIed.

Yeah. Screwed up.

By ""we"", you mean not...

You, too.

Pop GirI"s a better watcher than I am.

Whoa! No one said anything

about a watcher.

I can onIy work Iong-term

against the sniffs.

- Good.

- No! True story.

You"ve got a watcher after you.

It"s just a matter of time.

Then we"II spIit up.

We"II give her two things

to track instead of one.

- Pinky, take Kira somewhere safe

- I"m not going with him.

No offense.

None taken, cupcake.

I know you"re sweet on the champ.

I"II find you.

Let"s Iet her sIeep for a bit.

She"s a step ahead of our sister.

Father wiII be dispIeased...

She saw me coming.

Maybe she"s better than you?

She stiII dies!

She"s gone, you know.

I"m just saying...

- You okay?

- No...

Not untiI we find that case.

When was the Iast time you saw it?

Not since yesterday.

Not for Iack of trying, though.

If we don"t find it soon,

they"re gonna kiII my mom.

And it"s gonna be my fauIt.

Look at me.

Hey! Look at me.

You reaIIy think

I"m gonna Iet that happen?

You said the future"s

aIways changing, right?

It can change just by knowing it?

It can change.

It doesn"t mean it wiII.

- Good enough.

- What are you doing?

What are you gonna go do?

I"m gonna try and make a better one.

Going after Carver

doesn"t change anything.

It doesn"t save me,

it doesn"t save you,

it doesn"t save her.

It"s just a matter of time, Cassie.

If I don"t go to him, he"II come for us.

EmiIy, it"s Nick.

Division sent a pusher named Carver

to Hong Kong.

I need you to find him.

Just use that bead they gave you.

I"m sure his hands were aII over it.

- We"re not open.

- I"m not hungry.

Henry Carver.

Now there"s a face
